Why did you create this?
A really long time ago, my parents told me about a children’s storybook that contained clues to a real life treasure hidden within its pages and illustrations. I thought this concept was so cool… Now I want to give others the thrill, excitement, and “a-ha!” moments that come with solving a puzzle and finding a treasure in the real world.
What are the rules or Terms and Conditions?
The treasure is not buried, on private property, in or under water, in a cemetery, or hidden in a dangerous location. It’s outdoors in a safe, public place that can be accessed without violating any laws, and there’s no equipment required or specialised knowledge needed.
To ensure the legitimacy of the hunt, a substitute (or “proxy”) token is hidden in its place. The person who solves the clues and finds this proxy item will get to trade it in for the silver Kira coin.
No purchase necessary. Open to residents of Australia. No cash substitution is allowed. There is one (1) treasure, and whoever solves the clues first and is considered the finder and gets to keep it. At that point, it’s considered a gift from me to the finder, which carries no liability to pay income tax. From there, the finder can choose to keep it, sell it, trade it, or do whatever they’d like with it. The finder may choose to remain anonymous following the receipt of this gift. If you decide to search, you do so at your own risk. Please use caution and discretion and obey all local laws at all times. By choosing to participate in this search, you agree to indemnify and hold me harmless from any and all claims, injuries, damages, losses, or suits, including attorney fees, arising out of or in connection with the treasure hunt. I am not responsible for any personal injury, loss, or damage of property that may occur during the treasure hunt. I am not liable for any accidents, injuries, or losses that occur during the course of this activity. Please respect our environment and do not litter or disturb any wildlife while searching. And most importantly, have fun!
